Okay, I'll bite...

Yoinked from [livejournal.com profile] patchcat :

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on lima beans, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc.

In other, more annoying news, the uni is telling me I have an unpaid balance on my account. I'd... really like to know how that's possible, since I couldn't have gotten my fin aid refund until the bill was paid.  WTF?

Oh, and I think the neighborhood stray cat peed on our front patio.  Charming.

You'd think that would be the way it works, since you're a logical person and that's the logical way things should happen, right? But you're forgetting that universities don't behave logically. I fully believe that they would have sent you a refund and then tell you that you still owed them money--mine actually did this. This semester. Of course, the amount I owed was way more than the refund they sent me, but I resented that they cut me a refund check and then demanded I give it AND MORE back to them. I know it wasn't personal but it sure felt like it.

I suspect the problem is that, because I'm making up an "I", I wasn't supposed to be registered for this one class, and yet I was, and I SUSPECT the error is theirs. Either way, I'm not looking forward to unraveling this little mystery. Ugh.

MORAL OF THE STORY, KIDS: NEVER, EVER TAKE AN 'I' IF YOU CAN HELP IT.

See, for me I think it was the fact that I'm dual enrolled at the university and one of the community colleges (because the university doesn't offer my second-language course, the CC does). So I'm guessing the university took the money THEY needed, gave me the rest, then realized, whoops, the system still needs more money, and thus demanded it (and more) back.

So the other moral is NEVER TAKE CLASSES AT MORE THAN ONE INSTITUTION.
